Please leave a message on this website, or email Dirtband, (or speak to him, even!), if you would like to fill any vacant date--leaving venue/on-down details, if you have them. For dates more than a month into the future, the detail is not essential at the time of booking your trail.

Please be aware that this website, the official hash email ([email protected]), and the OtterValleyHash Twitter account, were established (by myself) to provide all the information that you NEED to know about OVH3 activities. I am not responsible for any OVH3 related content that you might find elsewhere!

The good news is that membership is now cheaper and simpler than it once was. Just £5 per wage earning adult.This change from the policy of previous years still represents excellent value for money. If you wish to maintain your membership of OVH3, please pay me (Dirtband) as soon as possible.

If you have not done so before the end of February, I will assume that you no longer wish to be a member of the hash. You can, of course, still hash with us at a cost of £1 per hash, and these payments can be accumulated up to the membership fee, in time.

Remember that fee payment ensures you are covered by our Public Liability Insurance. Also, members are on the hash email contact list, and may receive messages and information that non-members do not. I should stress that this hash email contact list is not connected, in any way, to Rambo's newsletter mailing list. You will need to be a full member, and be added to the 'official' OVH3 mailing list, if you wish to receive messages about OVH3 from me.

There is also a Facebook OVH3 members group, which can be used to send messages to the hash. This is a 'secret' group, and you need to be invited to join. Ask me for more detail, if you are interested. It is my expectation that only OVH3 members should be part of this Facebook group.

Hares---Please note that there are three areas in East Devon that must not be used for trails, under any circumstances. This is a result of requests by local land owners. If we do not comply with these requests, we might lose access to large areas of our best hashing terrain!!

B) Woodbury Castle Hill Fort--ramparts and interior (the castle car park is still a good place to start a hash--just avoid the castle!!).

C) Hayes Wood, west of East Budleigh (pheasant rearing!).

If you are laying for one of the other hashes that have recently taken to using terrain once only used by OVH3, please accept the same limitations. If access on Woodbury Common and surrounds is lost to one hash, it will be lost to all hashes!!

Maps of the areas of concern, and further details, can be found on the photos page. Please view this information carefully, if you intend to lay a hash close to any of these areas.
